  2. Illustrator crash and spikes GPU (3080ti) requesting more VRAM than usual error code 6 with pid=263

    Hello,
    Details of your operating system: Windows 11 Pro Version 10.0.22000
    The version of Adobe Illustrator (desktop) : 26.5
    I work with high-amount data content and AI keeps crashing randomly, on a stable high end station with 12900k, 32GB of RAM and a 3080ti. 

    To reproduce the issue:

    I work with these rather heavier files up to a point
    the whole PC stalls and freezes, (inclusively desktop and any app), mouse can't be moved, no input can be taken.
    After a few seconds or 1+ minute, i hear the sound stuttering (if i was playing music during the crash)
    then…

  3. Bounding box does not get updated when 'Use Preview Bounds' is toggled

    1. Create a circle.
    2. Apply a large Outside stroke to it
    3. Make sure you have bounding box turned on in View menu
    4. Open Preferences using menu (not a Ctrl+K hotkey, this is important)
    5. Toggle Use Preview Bounds option, commit changes

    The bounding box does not get updated. To force to to become larger/smaller (it depends on you initial state of it), you have to click/move the shape, to force it to redraw.

    However, if you call Preferences via a hotkey, Ctrl+K, the brief moment you hold Ctrl is enough to toggle the selection tool to Direct Selection, which makes Ai hide…

  4. text tool is slanted by default and cannot be fixed

    (Using MACOS Ventura 13.0 on Macbook Air with M1 Chip.) This issue is both on PS and AI 2023.. When I use the text tool, the text appears slanted and cannot be set to the correct angle. Does anyone have thoughts on this? This was also happening on PS/AI 2022. See screen recording for visual.

  6. Graph type tool crashes when selected.

    iMac Pro, Monterey, Illustrator 27.0.
    With a graph selected I click on the graph type in the contextual mouse menu (right click). Illustrator crashes.
    Same crashes on my MacBookPro latest Intel version running Ventura with Illustrator 27.0.
    BTW: give us a working graph tool, not this dinosaur from 1995.
    BTW2: Make Illustrator multi core.

  8. Divis/Minus-Zeichen und Leerzeichen am Zeilenanfang ergibt falschen Wortabstand

    macOS Monterey 12.5.1 / Adobe Illustrator v26.5

    Beginnt eine Textzeile mit einem Divis/Minus/Bindestrich und einem folgenden Leerzeichen/Wortabstand, so beträgt der Abstand zum nächsten darauf folgenden Zeichen nicht wie üblich ein Viertelgeviert, sondern ein Geviert. Die darauf folgenden Wortabstände in der gleichen Textzeile verhalten sich normal. Beginnt man jedoch mit der Eingabe-/Return-Taste eine neue Zeile, so erscheint automatisch auch an diesem Zeilenanfang ein Divis mit anschließendem Geviert-Wortabstand. Dieses „Geister-Divis“ lässt sich nicht separat anwählen.

  9. Sloppy GUI design

    In the most recent version of Illustrator for Mac, 24.0.0, the Save as dialogue seems to be designed by a startup company for use on Windows. :) Not a big issue, but please, Adobe, move the Format drop-down menu so that it sits in line with the Save cloud document button. This hurts my eye.

  10. 和文組版の横組み文字列中の文字回転

    Illustratorの日本語組版で、横組み文字列中の1文字を回転すると、文字が上下・左右に暴れて表示されてしまいます。
    ※縦組み中ではそういった不具合は観察されません。
    添付ファイルのように検証してみましたが、その回転の際の原点あるいは挙動原理などがよくわかりません。
    例えば、添付ファイル右下のように補正してみても、同じファミリー内でウエイトを変更しただけでもその補正値は変わるようです(平均字面が関係している?)。
    和文書体は、(欧文ベールライン位置や平均字面は様々でも)基本的には正方形の仮想ボディに納められていますので、仮想ボディの中心を回転の原点としていただければ、このような補正の手間がなくなるのではないだろうか? と考えられます。
    挙動を変更していただければ、作業者の負担も軽減されるでしょう。

    なお、このような「横組み文字列中のひと文字を回転する」という処理は、あまり日常的にすることではありませんので、既存ファイルへの影響も軽微なものであろうと考えていますが、変更していただくならば、【その変更を周知】していただくことは大切なことだと申し添えておきます。

    よろしくお願いします。

  11. Direct selection tool appears to move whole object until mouse release

    When part of an object is selected using the direct selection tool (selection tool and holding 'V' key down) the whole object appears to move to the new position until the mouse is released, at which point all the unselected points snap back to their original position. I'm assuming this is a bug and not intended?

  14. Using Type Character Panel generates error message 100% of the time

    Whenever I use the Type panel in Adobe Illustrator 2022 (Beta) 26.6.564, the bug window in the attachment opens up. This happens when trying to select a font or change any font characteristics. It occurs on two different computers running Windows 11 22H2. One is an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X with 32GB DRAM-DDR4 and the other is a Xeon processor with 64GB DRAM-DDR3.

  16. ダイレクト選択ツールでクローズパスからセグメントコピーでプレビューに残像が残る

    ダイレクト選択ツールでクローズパスからセグメントをコピーするとプレビューに残像が残ってしまいます。
    過去のバージョンでは長年、このような表示やプレビューの残存はありませんでした。改善してもらえませんでしょうか?

    動画が50M以上はアップできなかったので下記URLをご参考ください
    動画URL→ https://youtu.be/ZwOtmr2Ju9g

    1. Windows10 Adobe Illustrator 27.0
    2. クローズパスのダイレクト選択ツールでセグメントをクリックしてAlt(Option)を押したまま真横にマウスドラックでコピー
    3. 元のクローズパスのシェイプは固定表示されたまま、アウトライン表示でドラックしているパスをリアルタイム表示、クリックを離した瞬間選択中のパスのセグメントが抜き取られるようにコピー完了、プレビューの残像は残らない(過去のIllustratorバージョンの通常の表示を期待していた)
    4. 残像が残ってパスをコピーする元になるクローズパスは変形プレビューされてしまい、プレビュー画面で残像が残る

  19. Small objects rotating instead of scaling when grabbing corners of bounding box

    New laptop has forced me over to Win11 & the latest suite. Illustrator 26.3.1

    When trying to grab small objects by their corners to scale, it rotates.

    Expected result - Being able to scale!
    Actual Result - Rotating, immediately putting the object at 45 degrees.

    An old thread from 2018 ("Rotate vs scale") claims this may have something to do with scaling on high res monitors but was marked solved without being solved. This new laptop has a 4k screen.

    If you hover the cursor juuuust inside the corner it works, but anything outside and it's forcing rotation.

    If I…

  20. Error css classes in svg export

    In version before 26.2, applying a graphic style to a simple object (rectangle, line, etc.) allowed the name of that graphic style to be used as a CSS class in the an exported SVG. So a graphic style of "thick-outline" would become a CSS class called ".thick-outline" when the SVG file was exported with internal CSS.

    Now, a useless class called "cls-1" is applied to the illustrator object instead, making re-use of overriding of the style in the SVG difficult. This is a regression that makes the usefulness of the SVG export feature limited.

    See below for a comparison of…
